One day not long ago, I attended a meeting with the Center’s current director. We sat together in the library with a lawyer we intended to employ for some legal services. Apart from discussing business, we also spoke about our institution, its activities and its staff. Suddenly, one of our young researchers entered the room. The lawyer’s face changed to an expression of surprise, which was followed by an overt confession: “I always thought historians were old.“ Understandably, this sentence has become a bon mot in our community ever since. Another incident: a colleague loosely connected to our institution complained about the awkward verbosity of our name: How can one choose a designation which is so hard for people to remember and such a headache for any layout specialist to fit into his ever-limited, costly space? The message was: you historians have no idea about the rules of our money-driven, fast-paced world. Conciseness, not preciseness, paves the way to market success. Conclusion: Historians are deeply impractical, hopelessly complicated and obsessed with verbose self-indulgence. This brochure tells the story of the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe from its beginnings in 2004 to the present day (2016). It will hopefully unravel all myths and ste- reotypes, and explain the whys and hows. The aforementioned question of our name offers an illuminating starting point, as the three semantic components of our official designation remain essential for our identity. “Center,” unlike the more official term “Institute,” stands for an independent academic entity. Independence remains our reality, our credo and our chief asset. “Urban History” stands for our area of proficiency. Our primary focus is the city. Our inspiration: the multitude of unexplored research questions embedded in the complexity of urban societies throughout history. “East Central Europe” stands for our physical location and the geographical scope we cover. Today, just as back in 2004, we remain the only institution with this specialization in all the countries covered by our name.

4 In a wider context, both our academic focus and our geographical scope also imply political commitments: to urbanity as a culturally liberal project, and to Ukraine as part of the European project. In this sense, our full name refers to a value-based foundation that informs our work and defines us in a permanently unstable political and cultural environment. The heavy load of our full name is, however, only one matter. Everyday language is another. In Lviv where we are located, we have come to be labeled as concisely as my colleague from the advertisement sector would have wished. We are just “The Center.” Hence, nowadays in Lviv meeting in the “Center” can mean two things: either around the tourist hub on Market Square, or on No. 6 Bohomoltsia Street, with a colleague in the library or for a cup of coffee in our café. What a pleasant confusion and everyday reminder of what has been achieved in the past years! Leaving the name question aside, it remains a challenge for any research center in the humanities to explain its raison d’être to the wider public. This is especially true in post- socialist Ukraine where non-profit private investment in the educational sphere is tru- ly exotic. Academia in general and history departments in particular are dominated by state-run institutions and their bureaucracies. As a rule, their authority is accompanied with ideologically driven precepts regarding the content of research and teaching. Here is where the asset of independence comes in, but also the importance of persistence: there are plenty of short-lived initiatives in the cultural sphere, many of them funded externally, but very few institutions which can look back on the history of a dozen years. Indeed, in an institutional environment formed by rapid change and high fluctuation, the Center can already be counted as part of the Establishment. Nevertheless, referring to the first anecdote above, we are a young institution. As of December 2016, the average age of the 24 people working on a regular contractual basis was 29. They come from different parts of Ukraine, and their academic backgrounds vary from history and cultural studies to architecture and sociology. History at the Center is interdisciplinary, crosses borders and explores new themes and approaches in research, teaching and discourse. What makes us young is therefore less a matter of age, and more a result of what we do. Take digital history. Our institution benefits from an intense collaboration between technical practitioners from the world of programming on the one hand, and historians as content managers on the other. This combination helps us keep up with worldwide development in a field where both methodological reflection and project-based implementation are crucially important. Our publicly accessible products range from an interactive historical map

5 of the city of Lviv to a vast digital archive comprised of maps, images, videos and interviews from all over Ukraine (and beyond). Not surprisingly, as visitors’ statistics on our website show, it is these projects which attract the highest numbers of users. Or let us take public history, another one of our domains. The main objective here is to bridge the gap between academic research and the urban audience. In our exhibitions we historicize major areas in the crossroads of politics, culture and everyday life. “Eros and Sexuality,” “Home,” “Sport,” and the 90s (“Tomorrow will be Better”) have been some of our exhibition themes in the past twelve years. In our educational program we reach out to universities and schools, thereby suggesting new ways of experiencing and interpreting history. Finally, we have been acting as content and logistics advisors to the public sector in public space projects. All in all – again with reference to the anecdote above – these are examples of quite a “practical” approach. Our biggest endeavor over the past twelve years has been widening and deepening our research profile. Through many of our focuses, such as the “Socialist City,” Jewish history, and the extensive field of Heritage and Memory, the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe has gained major recognition as a distinguished player in innovative research and international exchange. The growing number of staff contributions to foreign-language publications has enhanced this picture. It is largely thanks to the creative effort of the Center’s three consecutive directors, Andryi Zayarnyuk (2004-2007), Tarik Cyril Amar (2007-2010) and Sofia Dyak (2010-present) that this has been achieved. It is the latter to whom I am indebted for compiling the review, which constitutes the content of the following pages.

Dr. Harald Binder Founder and President of Foundation Board INTRODUCTION

I joined the Center for Urban History in 2008, and have served as Director since 2010. It has been my privilege to develop this institution, which is now both relevant locally in the city of Lviv, and increasingly present on the international academic stage. Currently, the Center is one of the most significant research institutions in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, recognized for its activities in scholarly research on urban history, digital archiving, and public history. By bridging academic and public formats, we not only create a space for new encounters and discussions, but also contribute to the circulation of ideas, themes, and questions that are largely unaddressed in Ukraine. Our hybrid institutional design, blending the scholarly and the public, now reflects the aspirations, work, and commitment of the team of people who work at the Center, and those who visit and take part in the Center’s activities. The Center's rich roster of academic activities includes regular seminars attended by local university students, lectures by visiting fellows and scholars, international conferences and scholarly workshops, and summer schools training the next generation of urban historians, scholars of Jewish culture, and museum practitioners. Conference topics have synergized with our research focuses and informed our public history projects. For example, the Center's first major international conference was conceived by Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar (Academic Director from 2008-2010). It brought together 24 speakers to discuss contemporary Jewish heritage in the cities of Eastern and Central Europe. Since that conference, the topic of urban heritage(s) has become one of the research focuses at the Center, and our public history projects directly tackle the challenge of reconceptualizing heritage ideas and practices, as the new “Space of Synagogues” memorial shows. For our most recent conference (August 2017) on the roles of cities during the transition periods "in or out of socialism," we received more than 83 proposals from 31 countries. The idea for this conference developed from another research focus of the Center – planned urbanity – and our educational and digital projects on the 20th century modernist urban vision. We aim for such connections between the latest scholarly

THE BEGINNINGS 7 research, projects oriented towards the general public, and ways to share our knowledge through digital technologies. Finally, the Center’s success raises the question of what non-state research institutions in humanities can accomplish in Ukraine, where the state-centered academic infrastructure has a strong legacy. Furthermore, how can we contribute to international milieus of researchers and practitioners in history and urban studies? There is no definite template and answer, but the Center is an example of both the needs and possibilities in rethinking the ways history can be done in Ukraine. The story of the Center is thus not only about bringing new content and addressing new topics, but also about exploring the ways we think about history as a process: not imposing, but inviting for discussion, not legitimizing, but enabling, and not limiting , but including. As we reflect back on the last 12 years of the Center for Urban His- tory, we realize how far we have come. This makes us open to new challenges, and we look forward to creating new cooperations and reaching new horizons.

Dr. Sofia Dyak Director The Founding

The Center for Urban History in Lviv was born on April 16, 2004 in Vienna when Dr. Harald Binder established a private foundation with the intent to create a center as an institutional framework for urban history research. This new type of institution in Ukraine would aim to enhance international cooperation in research, to ex- THE plore the possibilities of digital technologies in the humanities, and BE- to rethink the roles of history in modern societies. → G

→ In 2005, the institution’s original name “Center for History and Culture of the City of Lviv” (Zentrum für Geschichte und Kultur der Stadt Lemberg) was changed to “Center for Urban History of East Central Europe” (Zentrum für Stadtgeschichte Ostmitteleuropas) in order to emphasize its broad conceptual and geographic approach. In the years that followed, though its specific focuses have varied, the Center has remained true to its mission. Alternative financial sources (third-party funding in particular) have gained importance over the years, but the original endowment of the Private Foundation has remained the major operational basis for the Center.

→ Dr. Harald Binder signed the Foundation Charter on April 16, 2004 in Vienna.

The establishment of the Foundation coincided with significant changes in Ukraine at the national and local levels, including empowerment of local administrations and the development of new approaches and visions for cultural life in cities. From the very beginning, the Center’s work has been characterized by several objectives: to research the history of Eastern and Central European cities; to promote urban history in an interdisciplinary format; to foster international academic and cultural exchange; to deepen knowledge and understanding of the complexity and diversity of history and heritage in Eastern and Central European cities;

10 and to enhance cooperation among local and international institutions. Over the past decade, the formats and focuses of the Center's activities have grown more diverse, but three core areas of the Center continue to be research, public history, and digital history and archiving. In 2004, setting up a privately endowed scholarly institution in Ukraine was not only unusual, but also quite risky, given the political circumstances of the late Kuchma years and the scale of corruption. Moreover, it was not quite foreseeable how such a “foreign” institution would be received by the established academic and municipal institutions. These concerns soon proved to be largely unjustified. Thanks to the early involvement of young scholars active at the universities and the Academy of Sciences, the Center was able to secure friendly and mutually beneficial relations with academic communities, including archives, museums and libraries in Lviv and Ukraine.

← On October 21, 2006 the Center was officially opened in Lviv with an inaugural conference at the Potocki Palace. From the right: Dr. Vasyl Kosiv (the vice-mayor of Lviv), Professor Roman Shust (Dean of the History Depart- ment, Lviv University), Dr. Ostap Sereda (chief advisor of the Center and research fellow at the Academy of Sciences), Professor Yaroslav Isayevych (director of Krypyakevych Insti- tute of Ukrainian Studies at the Academy of Sciences), Professor Andreas Kappeler (University of Vienna), Dr. Harald Binder (founder and president of the Center), Professor Richard Rodg- er (Center for Urban History, University of Leicester). The atmosphere of political unease gave way to optimism in late 2004 when the Orange Revolution illustrated the strength of Ukrainian civil society, enhancing new initiatives, especially on local levels. Within this framework, the Center became a part and promoter of a new cultural and civic environment in the city. In the years to come, productive relationships with established academic institutions and with municipal authorities have proven important assets in the Center’s positive development. In 2008, Dr. Harald Binder was awarded the Order “For Merits” (Third Grade) by Lviv’s mayor on behalf of Ukrainian President Victor Yushchenko. This honor served as a symbolic recognition of the Center’s contribution to academic and cultural life in Ukraine. The Center became more prominent each year, and in 2010, Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar, Academic Director of the Center, was awarded with the Golden Coat of Arms from the Lviv City Council. Most recently, in 2016, Dr. Sofia Dyak, director since 2010, received an honorary recognition from the Lviv City Council for active contribution to academic life in Lviv. These awards reflect the input of the entire team at the Center in promoting academic excellence and civic engagement in Ukraine.

THE BEGINNINGS 11 The Place In October 2006, the Center for Urban History inaugurated its newly renovated premises at 6 Bohomoltsia Street. Constructed by Lviv’s most renowned Art Nouveau architect, Ivan Levynskyi (Jan Lewiński), and located in one of the city’s most remarkable secessionist streets, the building itself proved to be a symbol of the Center's identity and presence in the city. It also came to serve as a model for renovation projects that combine modern interior design with the sensitive handling of historical substance. The Center adapted the physical space for its modern needs and usage, while carefully preserving the integrity of its historical features. The project’s successful implementation was the result of a fruitful cooperation between Austria (Herbert Pasterk as a project leader) and Ukraine (Mykola Prokopovych as a local partner architect) and companies. In the course of time, the core parts of the building (the reception area, library and office space) were expanded to include a conference room, an exhibition space, guest rooms, and most recently a café. As No. 6 Bohomoltsia Street became an integral part of its identity, the Center turned to investigate the building’s architectural history, the life story of its inhabitants, and the multifaceted past of its immediate neighborhood. Bohomoltsia Street is illustrative of the history of Lviv in the 20th century. The small street was laid out and built in the 1904-1908 and was originally named for the well-known Polish poet Adam Asnyk. Its creation came at the time when Lviv was implementing new ideas in city planning, architecture, and neighborhood development. The street soon became synonymous with comfortable living in an urban environment, and was popular with the middle class and with urban professionals, including doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, photographers, architects, engineers, government officials, and university lecturers. Some of these residents also maintained offices, bureaus, and tailor shops on the street. Some examples of residents in the first half of the 20th century were Adolf Beck, a professor of medicine and the rector of Lviv University in 1912-13, Yevhen Olesnytskyi, a lawyer and politician, and Stanisław Progulski, another doctor and university professor. The Second World War, the Holocaust, and post-war deportations tragically impacted the residents of the street, forever changing the human component of the block while largely leaving the buildings intact: Stanisław Progulski and his son Andrzej were shot dead by the Gestapo in August 1941 at Vulka Hills in Lviv; Adolf Beck committed suicide in 1942 during the forced relocation of Lviv's Jewish community to the ghetto. Following the war, most of the remaining pre-war residents of Adam Asnyk Street were forcibly relocated to new Com- munist Poland, and new residents were settled on the street renamed after Akademician Oleksandr Bohomolets in Soviet Lviv. Focusing research on a single street like this allowed us to tell its story from different viewpoints and in different formats, such as a collection of oral history interviews, a separate research topic within the digital project Lviv Interactive, and an exhibition in 2010. To conclude this exhibition on Bohomoltsia Street, the Center staged a Street Festival on the square facing the building and unveiled a plaque describing the history of the street and its architect, Ivan Levynskyi (Jan Lewiński). This unique and unprecedented event represented,

12 CHAPTER 1 ↙ The interior of the Center reflects both the diversity of the working spaces from research to exhibitions, as well as the different stages of the Center’s development: from three rooms in 2006 to three levels in 2016. This gradual expansion followed the functional division from a more internal and work-oriented area with offices and a library in the left wing of the building, The Center’s entrance hall Library and reading room to a more public area with a conference room, an exhibition hall and most recently, a café in the right wing. The courtyard, which enjoys wide use in warm weather, is a symbolic link between these different yet connected parts of No. 6 Bohomoltsia Street.

on the one hand, an innovative concept of urban studies, reaching down to the micro-historical level, while, on the other hand, it reflected the Center’s credo of being a civically engaged academic institution reaching out to the urban public. This combination helped shape No. 6 Bohomoltsia, as an inclusive and welcoming space for conversations, meetings and sharing various viewpoints.

14 CHAPTER 1 ← In September 2015, an exhibition called "Secession in Masks" was held in the courtyard at 6 Boho- moltsia Street. The exhibition was curated by Olha Zarechnyuk and was part of the “Days of European Heritage,” organized by the city of Lviv. The theme for 2015 year was architectural and artistic heritage of the Secession style. The focus of our exhibition was on the spectacular Mascaron ornaments: human faces, animal heads or mythical creatures. Often neglected or destroyed, these ornaments were extensively photographed by Tanas Nykyforuk (1928-2009) in the 1970s-1990s. His collection of 9400 images from around Lviv was transferred to the Center’s Urban Media Archive. Many of the photos from the collection The Team feature architectural elements of buildings on Bohomoltsia From the very beginning, one of the main questions for the Center was how to develop an Street. infrastructure that would support innovative research endeavors along with public outreach. The first three years of the Center’s history after its formal inception were shaped by a team of three historians: Dr. Andriy Zayarnyuk as the Center’s first academic director, Dr. Ostap Sereda from the Krypyakevych Institute for Ukrainian Studies at the Academy of Sciences as its chief external advisor, and Dr. Harald Binder as the initiator and founder of the institution. In 2007, the Center received a further boost in becoming an internationally recognized institution when Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar took over the position as the Center’s director. A scholar of East European history of the 20th century and a graduate of some of the best international history programs (Oxford University, London School of Economics, and Princeton University), Amar held the director’s position for three years before accepting a teaching position at Columbia University in New York in 2010. Current director Dr. Sofia Dyak was appointed in September 2010 following an international search for candidates. Dr. Dyak had already been working at the Center since 2007, researching the post-war history of socialist cities and implementing projects in public history. Initially small, the Center’s team grew significantly over the years to include researchers in history, sociology, cultural studies, geography, art and architectural history; curators and educators; programmers and designers; translators, administrators and managers. Today the Center comprises a team of 24 people, residents of Lviv and beyond. Currently, academic programs and projects in public history are coordinated by deputy director Dr. Iryna Matsevko. Financial affairs are managed by Tetiana Fedoruk, the Center's financial director. The Urban Media Archive is run by Bohdan Shumylovych (PhD Candidate). The Center's digital history project Lviv Interactive is managed by Taras Nazaruk. The structure of the Center’s team reflects its aim to develop as a research, digital and public history institution.

→ Computer technologies and digital formats promised to offer just the innovative gateway into analyzing and displaying urban forms, structures and narratives that we were looking for. As a result, four major projects based on the concept of digital urban history emerged: the Interactive Map of Lviv (LIA), the Urban Image Database (UID), a project centered on urban maps (UMD) and finally a project aimed at collecting and analyzing film and private video material (UVD). In 2006, our projects included the Lviv Interactive Map, initiated by Dr. Harald Binder and managed by Dr. Markian Prokopovych; the Urban Images Database coordinated by Iryna Kotlobulatova, a researcher and writer on photography in Lviv; and the Urban Video collection supervised by art historian Bohdan Shumylovych. In 2009, the Center's map collection branched out as a separate project known as Urban Maps Digital, initially coordinated by historian Serhiy Tereshchenko and later by Maria Pohorilko. In 2013, the collection of oral interviews recorded for the Lviv Interactive project was developed into a separate new project known as Urban Stories, led by sociologist Natalia Otrishchenko. All these projects, accessible online, encouraged a much wider audience to make use of this vast material, freely available at no cost. Further, the data collections provided a starting point for the Center’s scholars to conduct innovative research projects around these visual sources. Each of these digital collections was originally developed as a separate project to provide online access to otherwise inaccessible or little-known sources, particularly for researchers and others interested in the urban history of Eastern and Central Europe. They also served as a resource for the Center's other work. During its first five years, the Center's primary goals were the expanding of its holdings, and the developing of diverse perspectives on the history of cities and towns through relationships with private collectors, researchers, archives, and Lviv residents. The initial projects created digital archival collections pertinent to the history of cities and towns. An essential feature of all these projects has been the fruitful cooperation with various external partners. A recent highlight in these partnerships was the 2014 publication of “The Atlas of Ukrainian Historical Cities, Vol. 1: Lviv,” number 503 in the series “The Atlases of Historical Cities”. This was the first volume dedicated to a city in Ukraine. The publication bridged digital and non-digital information formats, and was made possible through the Center’s collaborative efforts with the Hrushevskyi Institute of Ukrainian Archeography and Source Studies, the “Archeological Rescue Service” Scientific Research Center, the Central State Historical Archive in Lviv, and the Institute of Geoinformational Systems (Lviv).

Selected from the Urban Media Archive (Urban Images collection), these photos illustrate the diversity and uniqueness of the archive. Assembled over the course of more than ten years, this collection includes digitized images from different sources. Presented here are images from public archives (Pshenychnyi Kinofotofono State Archive in Kyiv, Regional State Archive and Academy of Sciences in Lviv), private collections (Volodymyr Rumiantsev, Ihor Kotlobulatov, Taras Piniazhko), and family archives (Tetiana Goshchitska, Maria Farneza, Olha Zarechnyuk, Helmut Kusdat, and the Otko family).

Both maps come from the Collection of the Aus- trian War Archive (Kriegsarchiv) in Vienna.

Interconnecting the Collections The growth of the Center's digital collections in the early years revealed the need for greater structure and resources regarding the digital archive overall. In 2013, the Urban Media Archive (UMA) brought together four separate projects of digital history: Urban Images, Urban Vid- eo, Urban Maps, and Urban Stories. The overall goal of the UMA remained the same as the individual collections: to find, store, study, provide access to, and popularize visual and audio materials that are either neglected by state archives and institutions or otherwise inaccessible. Bringing together these different collections enabled new ways of exploring, evaluating, contextualizing, displaying, and applying different archival media and documents. Led by Bohdan Shumylovych, the UMA team includes Oleksandr Makhanets, full-time coordinator, and Natalia Otrishchenko, supervisor of the oral history collection.

GOING DIGITAL 23 Though the UMA grew in volume and scope with each year, it remained focused on collecting and processing materials connected with urban history. Rather than developing tools to digitize archival documents, the UMA actively promoted cooperation with archival institutions, initiatives, and individuals who were willing to join efforts in digitizing, describing metadata, archiving, and creating virtual digital collections. This also helped to further diversify the collection by involving contributors from other cities in Ukraine and even beyond. Thus, the UMA has been growing into a major resource for data analysis and the development of new methods for evaluating, contextualizing, reflecting, and using varied archive media and documents. Successful partnership with local experts and institutions of research and education has proven to be a critical asset in the Center’s quest to expand and intensify resource utilization, which in turn enables the dissemination of historical materials, promotes the spreading of pluralism, and serves the inclusion of historical culture in contemporary Ukraine. In November 2013, the Center organized an international workshop "The Digital and the Visual: New Approaches to Urban Studies Research of East Central Europe,” with the support of the European Association for Digital Humanities, to discuss local cases and global contexts for the application of new media and geographic information system (GIS) tools in urban history. This workshop was the first effort in Ukraine to draw attention to the advantages and challenges of using new technologies in urban studies. It became important for our ongoing digital archiving and history projects, and contributed to our decision to re-structure the Center's separate archival projects into the UMA, and to institutionalize our oral history collection.

24 CHAPTER 2 An additional example of collaboration using UMA archival materials features communication between the academic and artistic communities. A series of public discussions “Theater: Inside Out” with the First Stage of Modern Drama “Drama.UA” took place in 2015, and was based on the Center's research “Theaters of Lviv in 1945-1985: Between Art and Politics.” The discussions became a platform for meetings between academics, actors, critics, theater practitioners and theater audiences. They were inspired by the Center's intercon- nected collections of oral interviews and a selection of visual materials, mostly photographs associated with cultural and theater life in Lviv in the second half of the 20th century.

Currently, the UMA collection includes video recordings from different genres, and images and audio recordings from both private and official archival collections. To date, particular attention has been paid to digitizing underappreciated holdings, topics, and periods, all to enable a multiplicity of perspectives on urban life. For example, the UMA has a complete collection of newsreels covering Lviv from the Pshenychnyi Central State Film, Photo and Sound Archive of Ukraine (Kyiv). This collection is complemented by materials from Lviv TV, the result of a nearly five-year project to digitize and preserve the previously inaccessible collection at the Regional State Archive in Lviv. Special attention is also paid to searching and

GOING DIGITAL 25 preserving home videos, private recordings, and private video collections, as well as modern video projects connected with the city and urban culture. From these diverse sources, the UMA now contains about 6,000 digitized video files within a timeline covering 1915-2010. Over 6,200 processed images, such as digitized photographs, graphics, and illustrations are available online and cover the years 1823-2015. The UMA's digital map collection has more than 270 units, covering some 350 years (1635-1989). The collection also includes well over 300 oral history interviews conducted by the Center since 2008. The history of the city of Lviv makes up the majority of these materials, a product of the Center's initial objectives and focus, but the scope of the collection has expanded significantly over the last decade, both in timespan and in geography. For example, the Urban Video collection presently contains materials on ten cities, including Drohobych, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv, Lutsk, Kharkiv, Prypyat, Uzhhorod, and Truskavets. The Urban Images collection covers 145 cities and towns in Ukraine and Poland. The maps collection includes 37 cities in Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, and Belarus. The UMA oral history collection remains largely dedicated to the history of Lviv. A special place is occupied by the collection “Voices of Con- frontation and Hope,” which includes interviews with active members of the various Euro- maidans and materials from Lviv, Kyiv, and Kharkiv. Compiled in December 2013 and February 2014 by a research team under the supervision of Anna Chebotarova and Natalia Otrishchen- ↓ ko, this important sociological survey has become an exceptional collection unique to our The former director of Lviv Fash- ion House, Nadiya Nykyforuk, Center, bridging research and social engagement in a situation of crisis and radical change. interviewed in 2015 for the UMA The UMA has proven highly successful as a hub for research projects inside and outside by Dr. Nataliya Otrishchenko and our Center. For example, the long-term UMA project to digitize and process materials from Oleksandr Makhanets. Lviv TV station became part of a PhD research project conducted by Bohdan Shumylovych at the European University Institute in Florence on popular urban culture of the late Soviet period. The UMA development of photo collections on the history of Soviet Lviv contributed to research projects by Dr. Sofia Dyak and Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar on post-war history of socialist cities. Research conducted by Dr. Volodymyr Kulikov in 2013-2014 on industrialization and urban landscapes resulted in a collection of images of industrial cities, individual objects, interior and exterior details of plants and industrial fairs from before 1918 on the territory of modern Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kirovohrad, Luhansk, Odesa, Kharkiv, Kherson and Sumy regions of Ukraine. This digital collection is particularly valuable because some of the original materials are now inaccessible (and their status unknown) due to the ongoing war in Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

26 CHAPTER 2 In 2015, a new form of archiving analog data began to supplement the process of dig- itization. The Center's archive received a large and rich collection of negative strips and prints taken by professional photographer Tanas Nykyforuk (1928-2009). This collection documented streets, buildings, and architectural details of Lviv as a kind of visual archive of the city center from the 1970s to the 1990s. The collection is quite important to the Center's ongoing activities on 20th century urban heritage, especially as illustrated by historical cities in the late- and post-Soviet periods.

Mapping the City One of our unique projects is the Lviv Interactive (LIA) project, a web-accessible map of the city that seeks to present the contemporary, living place in its historical dimension. The main objective of LIA is to develop digital humanities approaches to urban history. This concept sets the project apart in purpose and function from a variety of history-centered internet sites that also use maps. Historical data and trends are considered here from the perspective of how they shaped today’s city: its outward appearance, internal functioning, and socio-cultural system. The project was launched in 2006, and managed by Dr. Markian Prokopovych, Dr. Harald Binder, and later Serhiy Tereshchenko. As it developed, it underwent intense collaboration with experts in the history of architecture as well as a team of IT de- velopers headed by Lyubomyr Oliynyk (SiteGist). In 2011, Dr. Oksana Dudko, a historian with a degree from Lviv University, took over as project manager, joined in 2013 by Olha Zarechnyuk, a graduate of the Institute of Architecture of Lviv Polytechnic, and in 2015 by Andriy Linik, an artist and curator who focused on upgrading visual language for LIA. In 2016, Taras Nazaruk,

28 CHAPTER 2 a graduate of the University of Wrocław with a degree in communication design became the new project leader. Ten years of work and cooperation have produced over 1,000 interactive objects accessible through the map, including buildings, oral histories, and historical events. LIA’s goal is to represent different aspects of political, social, and cultural life in the city using the methods of digital humanities and digital history. Fulfilling this long-term objective includes the development of a digital map platform, the expansion of digital tools and visualization, research work in diverse formats and in different disciplines, as well as the cooperation of researchers, programmers, designers, and managers. In 2015, a new structure for LIA was conceptualized, and work began in 2016 to develop a new visual language for the project. Currently, the project is being reformed according to the new structure, and developed into three related parts: Digital Urban Encyclopedia, Digital Lab, and Educational Platform. The Digital Urban Encyclopedia is the first and largest of the three parts envisioned for LIA, and key to the entire project. It focuses on the history of Lviv in the 19th and 20th centuries, and includes many articles on the history and architecture of buildings and institutions, its residents, and historic events, all spatially represented on the interactive city map. The materials are developed by a team of architects, historians, and art experts in cooperation with numerous archives, museums, and libraries of Ukraine. This ongoing cooperation makes possible the first online publication of many rare and important architectural drawings and archive documents. As of 2016, the collection includes more than two thousand objects/ buildings, two hundred biographies, fifty institutions, and forty historic events. Over half of these items and articles are already active and available online.

GOING DIGITAL 29 Stories constitutes a separate element of the Digital Urban Encyclopedia. Here various narratives from the history of the city are presented, as well as results from cooperations in different research fields, such as history, literature, architecture, sociology, anthropology, and oral history. The projects collected in Stories differ in topics, methods, and timelines, reflecting various dimensions of urban life in Lviv in the 19th till the 21st centuries. They have different layers and focuses, but all research results are integrated into the Lviv Interactive platform of the Center's website using digital humanities tools. One of the first projects inStories began in 2012, and focused on Pidzamche district, historically one of the oldest parts of the city with an interesting but little-known multicultural and industrial heritage. The fact that the district was underappreciated (as most attention usually goes to Lviv's UNESCO-recognized historic center) served to encourage the fruitful cooperation of many participants in this project, including researchers, a curator, and an educator. Pidzamche district was illustrated through oral history testimonies collected by Dr. Andriy Bondarenko, Dr. Halyna Bodnar, and Dr. Natalia Otrishchenko, among others; the creation of a street exhibition curated by Andriy Linik; and the development of an educational game and an interactive table map by Khrystyna Boyko. During the past five years, Pidzamche district has seen change and new development, and is now becoming a center for diverse art and educational projects. Thus, the testimonies collected in 2012 with the launch of the project have already become subjects of study, both regarding the history of the district, and also the modern development of Lviv.

Another example is the story of Bohomoltsia Street, seen through the lens of urban planning and architecture. This case demonstrates some design features of individual houses, in the context of the general urban development of Lviv, as well as stylistic, ideological, and other factors affecting the architecture of Lviv during the 19th century. It uses this street as a model to explore the discourse that was taking place when architectural modernism was being shaped. A combination of research projects in literature studies that focused on urban spaces led to the project “±1939: Imaginary Map of Literary Lviv,” launched in 2015. It aimed to map a re-

30 CHAPTER 2 construction of the literary life of Ukrainians, Poles, and Jews with regard to the topography of Lviv during World War II. Dr. Danylo Ilnytskyi and Dr. Viktor Martyniuk worked with the LIA team on the visualization and presentation of 15 biographies, 21 descriptions of institutions, 5 topics, 240 quotations, 80 archive photographs and 2 academic articles. The second part of LIA, the Digital Lab, is one of the most recent developments and reflects a long history of cooperative relationships between researchers, programmers, and

designers. The Digital Lab focuses on the process of displaying history digitally, showing and explaining how the work was done. The Lab will present selected elements of projects, develop tools for digital analysis and presentation, and address tasks, decisions, and challenges met by project managers, researchers, programmers, web designers, and data managers. Because many elements of LIA’s implementation process are transparent and open, this enhances communication and discussion on the issues and challenges for digital history projects. Through the Lab, practitioners and users will be able to observe the development of new approaches that combine computational methods with inquiries in humanities. They will also see what goes into the visualization of cultural data, and how the tools for digital storytelling projects are selected and created. Together with the Digital History Seminar series, launched in 2016, the online Lab will help to advance digital humanities in Ukraine, and to promote international cooperation in this growing field. The third and most recent part of LIA is the Educational Platform, which provides for the creation of innovative and easy-to-use digital tools for pupils and students. It also fosters the development of special study modules, which can be used in conventional classrooms or in distance learning. The first project was implemented jointly with Dr. Mayhill Fowler, Professor at Stetson University (Florida, USA). These materials and websites laid the foundation for an interdisciplinary seminar “Intersection of Empires”, integrated into the syllabus for 2015 and 2016. The students worked with selected locations and objects on the city map, analyzed sources, and contextualized them with the help of key discussions in historiography and urban history of Eastern and Central Europe. The students also made a trip to a remote and little-known city,

GOING DIGITAL 31 which further enabled these students from Florida to better understand the heritage of empires and colonialism, and the overlaying problems of inequality, and of ethnic and national divisions.

Navigating Streets and Their Pasts In 2015, the Lviv Streets Database, a project initially part of LIA, went online as its own in- ACA dependent resource. This database creates a window to the past by looking at the history of street renamings in Lviv. One can trace the complexity and ambiguity, ruptures and con- tinuities of its history. One notable example is the city’s central artery – presently Svoboda Avenue, which was renamed each time a new government came to power. Many scholars, those interested in the history of Lviv, or those in need of information about their ancestors had always faced many challenges trying to find and locate old street names. They had to consult various printed guides (which were not always readily available), check maps, and —DE do online searches. Lviv Streets makes this task significantly easier. The Lviv Streets project does more than just transfer available data from printed to digital versions, and gather scattered pieces of information up into one website. During the project, coordinated by Maria Pohorilko, there were many questions raised and faced: In what languages should the street names be displayed: in Ukrainian or transliterated?

→ The result of a Lviv Streets Database search for “Horodot- MIC ska,” one of the longest and most often renamed streets in Lviv. The database displays information on the length of the street, and its multiple renamings. It also has a function for overlaying contemporary Google Maps with historical maps (Here is a map from 1931.)

How should Polish and German names be shown? How can streets that no longer exist be shown on a map? A result of extensive research, especially in archives, and checking with available maps and address books, the Lviv Streets became the best available database for AC tracing street and square renamings in Lviv. Implemented with tools provided by Google Maps, and enhanced with specific features programmed by the Center’s fulltime IT partner SiteGist, this database enables the user to zoom in and out of the maps; view the actual location and length (sometimes changing) on the map; and capture and link to the current page view. Digital overlay is another function available for maps from the years 1783, 1863, 1895, 1915, and 1931. This allows the reader to visually explore the changing representations of the city. The Lviv Streets remains one of the most often used online resources developed —TIVI- by the Center. TIES Formats and Cooperation The Center has always been dedicated to building collaborative relationships with institutions and initiatives that share common research, academic or public interests. This has helped promote the Center’s presence both locally and in- ACA ternationally, and has also reflected the Center's mission to enhance international cooperation and promote urban history research. Throughout its history, strong ties have been developed with a variety of academic, educational, and cultural institutions, including universities, research centers, archives, libraries, museums, galleries, and non-governmen- E—D tal organizations in Lviv, across Ukraine, and abroad. → MIC

→ These continuing collaborations have employed diverse academic formats including summer school programs, conferences, workshops, seminars, lectures, presentations, and round tables with scholars and experts from different countries involved in fields directly or indirectly related to the history of cities and regions of East Central Europe. These connections and efforts have enabled the Center to develop both as a research institution and as a place for discussion and exchange on research initiatives and results. Within its first official year after its October 2006 inauguration, the Center had already established itself as a much sought-after partner for academic groups coming to Lviv to study its unique urban fabrique. One such event was the international two-day workshop entitled “Intricacy of Urban Space” which was held in cooperation with “Rethinking Social Time and Space,” a regional seminar for excellence in teaching sponsored by the Open Society Institute. On another occasion, international project “Opera in Changing Societies” sponsored by the Volkswagen foundation, held a workshop at the Center devoted to the topic “Opera and the City.”

Summer Schools The Center's first summer in Lviv following its establishment was very busy. An early climax in international cooperation was the summer academy “History Takes Place” which was organized by the Zeit Foundation and held at the Center in July 2007. Planning and development for this program formed the basis for future methods of cooperation. It also established the summer school format as a means for the Center to implement international projects and develop relations with students and new researchers in Ukraine and beyond. The city of Lviv was the third location for the summer school program, preceded by Saint Petersburg and Wrocław. Professor Christoph Mick supervised the program with the participation of international writers and scholars such as John-Paul Himka, Yaroslav Hrytsak, Alexey Miller, Maria Lewicka, Martin Pollack, and Timothy Snyder. It was an opportunity to dig deep into Lviv's complicated past, to analyze the physical space and the intertwined personal narratives on its history. The summer program also enabled the participants (MA and PhD students) to meet colleagues from different countries, and to interact with a wide variety of cultural and political practitioners. In 2010, the Center launched an annual summer school focusing specifically on the study and understanding of Jewish history, culture, and heritage in Ukraine. The concept and

34 curriculum were developed by Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar, Dr. Sofia Dyak, and Dr. Iryna Matsevko. ↑ Each year, the school brings together leading world experts and students from Ukraine, and Participants of the “History Takes Place” Summer Academy, beginning in 2015, also from Poland, Belarus, and Russia. While guest lecturers and topics organized by the ZEIT Founda- differ from year to year, the program always includes a basic Yiddish language course. An tion in Lviv, July 2007. important recent development in the program’s curriculum was the creation of public history workshops that explore different ways of engaging with the urban past at public spaces (in 2015) and city walks (in 2016). A focus on museums is planned for the 2017 summer school. For many students, the summer program provided their first opportunity to take courses in Jewish history and to learn Yiddish, a major language that was widely spoken in the present territory of Ukraine before World War II and the Holocaust. For others, the annual program has been an important step in advancing their language skills and developing research projects aligned with the curriculum. This reflects one of the original aims of the program: to create a milieu for researchers and practitioners of Jewish history and heritage as part of the history and heritage of Ukraine and Eastern Europe. We are proud that the program and its alumni have contributed to a number of positive trends and developments, including university programs, research centers, seminars and conferences dedicated to Jewish history in Ukraine. One such notable example is that Vladyslava Moskalets, one of the school’s first participants in 2010, will be a lecturer in the school’s eighth year in 2017.

36 CHAPTER 3 In 2015, the Center piloted another summer school, focused on the studies of urban planning and architecture within historical and social contexts for urban change. The idea behind this Urban Summer School program was to establish communication between urban studies, urban history, and the humanities. Each year, the program focuses on a different area within a city, concentrating on a topic that closely aligns with the Center's research theme, “Planned Urbanity in Socialism and Beyond.” The first of these schools, “Novyi Lviv / New Lviv,” was organized in partnership with the MARCH School of Architecture, and focused on an historic district of Lviv that features modernist buildings constructed during the 1920s and 1930s, as well as residential buildings from the second half of the 20th century.

← Participants of the “Novyi Lviv” Urban Summer school presented the results of their field research and proposals for future development of the Novyi Lviv (New Lviv) district to inhabitants, architects, municipality officials and urban planners in Lviv, August 29, 2015

The 2016 program, “The Idea of the City: Reality Check,” was held in Slavutych, in cooperation with the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Ukraine and the NGO “Urban Forms Center.” Set in the city designed and built following the Chornobyl nuclear plant explosion, the program at- tracted 190 applicants from 30 countries. The goal was to study how Slavutych was created, from the original idea through planning and construction, and to explore problem-solving and relationships between the environment, the buildings, the functioning of institutions, and everyday life. Thus, the lecturers of the school represented the fields of urban planning, urban studies, history, sociology, and public finances. Among them were Kees van Ruyven ("Kees van Ruyven Stadsontwikkeling", Amsterdam), Dmytro Kokorin (London Royal Col- lege), Tauri Tuwikene (Tallinn University), and Viktor Maziarchuk (Center for Political Studies and Analytics "Eidos", Kyiv). The school included three working groups (studio): “Space and Ecology of the City,” “Finances and Administration of the City,” and “Urban Practices,

ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES 37 Memories and Perceptions.” The last studio was prepared and led by two researchers from the Center: Dr. Natalia Otrishchenko and Dr. Iryna Sklokina. The school was led by Evgenia Gubkina, an architect and researcher at the Center, working on the research project “A Place on the Edge of Imagination: Visions and Practices of Slavutych, the Last Soviet City.” In 2016, the Urban Summer Schools series received the Integrated Development Award at the Leip- zig Contest for innovative approaches to research and teaching urban studies in Ukraine. At the end of 2016, a call for participants was announced for the third Urban Summer School that will focus on the largest post-war mass housing district in Lviv: Sykhiv. Since 2015, both the Jewish Summer School and the Urban Summer School have included special public programs related to various topics covered in the schools, as well as larger issues of relevance for broader public discussions. These programs have become a bridge connecting school participants and lecturers with local residents and the public at large. They’ve helped break down barriers between academic and public discourse by establishing a format for communication.

Teaching While the summer schools have remained the Center's primary format for engaging with students, we have also been able to host a number of seminar courses for students in cooperation with local universities. These seminars have become indispensable benefits of our long-standing relationships with the Ukrainian Catholic University, Lviv University, and Polytechnic University, as they provide unique opportunities to reflect on current publications and to share ideas and achievements. They also bring new emphasis on the subject of “cities” in university curricula. In 2008, Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar taught a seminar to students of the Ukrainian Catholic University entitled “Introduction to Urban History” that focused on methodology and the most recent historiography in urban history. In the same year, Dr. Viktoria Sereda from Lviv University taught two courses, “Urban Sociology” and “Visual Methods in the Social Sciences,” which were delivered at the Center and highlighted sociological approaches to cities. The initiative to offer courses on approaches to historical research continued in 2011 with the seminar “Backstage in the Borderlands: Problems in the Social History of the Arts” taught by Dr. Mayhill Fowler, post-doctoral fellow at the Center. In 2013, Bohdan Shumy- lovych, researcher and head of the Center's Urban Media Archive delivered lectures on “Key Concepts in Cultural Studies”. Both took place at the Ukrainian Catholic University. In 2012, a teaching cooperation with the Institute of Architecture was established when Dr. Khrystyna Boyko developed an academic seminar for students entitled “The Architecture of Jewish Districts in the Context of the Development of Galician Towns.” This seminar was part of the joint research project “Making Research Accessible: Preparing the First Complete Survey of Galician Synagogues in Ukraine,” which was organized by the Center for Urban History in cooperation with Lviv Polytechnic National University, and the Center for Jewish Art at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

38 CHAPTER 3 More recently, lecture courses in the 2014-15 academic year included “The First World War: Between Historiography and Centennial” by History PhD candidate Oksana Dudko, and “Public, Popular or Applied History: Practices and Roles of the Past in Society” by the Center's Director, Dr. Sofia Dyak; the courses continued in 2016 with “Introduction to Public History.” These courses have supported the development of a special program in Public History at the Ukrainian Catholic University. Thus, over four years, the Center developed fruitful teaching cooperations with the three major institutions of higher education in Lviv.

← A seminar session of “Informa- tion City = Media Archaeology + Political Economy” by Dr. Svit- lana Matvienko (University of Western Ontario), October 2016.

In addition to courses and lectures co-organized with Lviv’s universities, the Center has also been offering intensive one-month seminars for students from different universities in Lviv. In spring 2014, Ashley Bigham, a Fulbright Fellow and graduate of the School of Archi- tecture at Yale University, delivered a seminar course on “Cultural Fortresses: Reconsidering Preservation and Memorial Architecture.” In 2015, two courses were offered: “The Avant- Garde and Urban Space of East Europe in the 1920-1930s” by Dr. Mikhail Ilchenko (Urals Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences), and “Visual Communication in East-Central Europe since 1945: Comparative Studies” by Dr. Anna Olszewska (Polish Academy of Sciences in Kraków). In 2016, Dr. Svitlana Matvienko from the University of Western Ontario taught an intensive seminar entitled “Information City = Media Archaeology + Political Economy.” Another important step towards enhancing the Center's teaching portfolio came with invitations for researchers working at the Center to teach outside of Lviv and Ukraine. Most recently, in autumn 2016, Dr. Natalia Otrishchenko, researcher and coordinator of the Urban Media Archive collection of oral history, taught a course at Martin Luther Halle-Wittenberg University in Germany entitled “Voices (For) the City: Oral and Public History in East Central Europe.”

ACADEMIC ACTIVITIES 39 Conferences and Workshops Like other academic institutions, the Center has also been developing traditional formats of presenting, exploring, and exchanging ideas, results and research prospects with ever-growing partnerships and innovation. In October 2008, the Center organized its first international conference on the theme of urban heritages and legacies in cities with multi-ethnic pasts and with multiple (sometimes contested) narratives. Conceptualized by Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar, the conference “Jewish Heritage and History in East Central Europe” gathered researchers and practitioners with a particular focus on museums, including participants from Jewish museums in Berlin, Vienna, and Warszawa. Complementing the academic discussions were meetings between representatives of Jewish organizations and Lviv city authorities, which were held to consider strategies for the preservation and promotion of Lviv's Jewish heritage and history. The conference brought about the initiative to commemorate three sites of Jewish history in Lviv, which in September 2016 produced visible results with the opening of the first part of “The Space of Synagogues” in the city center. This initiative is a long-term effort that illustrates the importance of cooperation between the academic and public domains, a key principle in the Center’s mission. ↓ Over time, the Center has broadened its partnership network, today working both Key Note Lecture by Professor Pieter Judson at the conference domestically and with partners in Germany, Poland, Austria, Lithuania, the UK, Swit- “Sex in the Cities: Prostitution, zerland, Canada, and the USA.

At that con- academic director, 2007-2010). ference, issues of social control and sexuality in cities of Eastern and Central Europe in the 19th-20th centuries were explored, with a focus on the phenomenon of ‘deviation’. In March 2010, the international conference “Lviv as a Mirror,” co-organized with the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences, enabled a fruitful Polish-Ukrainian encounter aimed at investigating the often conflicting narratives about Lviv in the 20th and 21st centuries. Selected papers from these conferences were published in a special issue of the Journal of the History of Sexuality (May 2011) and a collective volume Lviv as a Mir- ror: Mutual Perceptions of Lviv Residents in 20th and 21st Century Narratives edited by Katarzyna Kotyńska (Warszawa, 2012).

40 CHAPTER 3 In April 2013, the Center co-organized a workshop with the Institute of Ukrainian Archeography, the Central State Historical Archive of Ukraine in Lviv, and the Institute of Archeology called “History of Cities and Cartography: Methods of Implementation,” which addressed the developing project “Historical Atlas of European Cities in Ukraine.” The workshop helped to advance the project, and in the following year. the landmark historical atlas of Lviv was published. Another recent, significant academic event was the international symposium “Urban Legacies: Culture in Practice and Public Policies in East and Central Europe,” organized with partners Dr. Robert Pyrah and Dr. Jan Fellerer from Oxford University. The symposium took place in September 2015 in the context of a broader research project on developing and disputing identities in Eastern and Central Europe with the use of new approaches for understanding subcultures. Researchers and practitioners from the UK, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, and Hungary attended the symposium, which further reflects the Center’s breadth and long-standing cooperation with international partners, in this case specifically with Drs. Robert Pyrah and Jan Fellerer from Oxford University. A collective publication, “Lviv – Wrocław: Parallel Cities? Myth, Memory and Migration, c. 1890-present.” is expected in 2017.

← Public Lecture “Fields of Battle and Territories of Mobilization. The Urban Geography of the First World War” by Profes- sor Pierre Purseigle at the international workshop “Urban Experiences of the Great War in Eastern Europe” (June 23-25, 2016). The program also included four public lectures by Professor Serhy Yekelchyk (“The Ukrainian Revolution as an Extension of the First World War”); Professor Eric Lohr (“Russia 1917: The Great Demobilization of the Empire”); and Professor Katarzyna Sie- rakowska (“East-Central Europe during the Great War – new approaches and fields of research”).

In June 2016, Dr. Oksana Dudko from the Center organized an international workshop on “Urban Experiences of the Great War in Eastern Europe” in cooperation with Dr. Olena Betliy (Kyiv Mohyla Academy) and Professor Serhiy Yekelchyk (University of Victoria). The workshop brought together twenty scholars from Ukraine, the USA, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Canada, Poland, and Lithuania. Although the presentations mostly covered ongoing or contemporary research on Eastern European cities and towns, the discussions addressed the larger questions of studying wartime urban environments, and went beyond narrow national frameworks by introducing transnational and global approaches. A continuation of this workshop is planned for 2018, with the preliminary title “Multiple Endings? Cities of Eastern Europe in Wars, Revolutions, and Recoveries, 1917-1920s.” Both workshops are part of the Center’s research focus on “Cities, Wars, and Recoveries in the 20th Century Eastern Europe.”

Seminars, Lectures and Presentations Since 2007, seminars have played a crucial part in promoting communication and the exchange of ideas with guest researchers and research fellows. In 2012, the new “Urban Ukraine” seminar series was launched at the Center. It aimed at raising awareness and knowledge about the diversity of Ukraine’s urban landscape. Special focus was placed on cities of Eastern Ukraine and their Soviet legacies: Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Dnipropet- rovsk (Dnipro), Mariupol and Kyiv. Even in its first year, this series has proven invaluable in creating opportunities to enlarge the institute’s network and gain recognition as a nation- wide hub for urban studies. Since 2014, the framework has broadened; the lecture series, now called Urban Seminar, emphasizes project work in-progress and an in-depth discussion format in order to promote interdisciplinary and interinstitutional communication. Over the past ten years the Center developed an intensive and diverse program of lectures and presentations. These are the most frequent events organized and hosted by the Center. Lectures provide a space for researchers at various stages in their careers in the humanities and social sciences from different institutions and countries to present and discuss the results of their research and exchange ideas. Open to the broader public and usually with translation, they also promote public discussions, often on little researched or contested topics and share the results of research on specific cities in Ukraine and beyond. The latter reflects the Center's mission to develop research on specific cities in Ukraine and enhance international cooperation and exchange. For both presentations and lectures, the Center tried to reach out both to expert communities and to the general public. Gradually by 2014, the frequency of events at the Center climbed to about 90 events per year, meaning that on average, every fourth day there is a lecture, presentation or discussion in one of the Center’s venues.

42 CHAPTER 3 ↙ In 2006-2016, the Center was honored to invite, organize, and host lectures of well-known researchers from many countries and disciplines who shared their work, ideas, and inspiration, thus enhancing academic and public reflections on Eastern and Central European history and present.

→ Some of them were part of larger research projects undertaken by the Center: the study of Sykhiv, with Dr. Vlad Naumescu; the spatial development of Lemberg/Lwów/Lviv during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, with Dr. Markian Prokopovych; and Kastelivka, with Dr. Ihor Zhuk. Over time, the Center’s research focus has expanded geographically to include more cities and towns. Ongoing participation in inter-institutional projects, together with support and organization from the Center’s independent researchers, has shaped the range and diversity of topics for new initiatives. Over the years, the Center's researchers have paid increasing attention to the 20th century, and the experience of Soviet and socialist cities. Dr. Tarik Cyril Amar has recently published the monograph "The Paradox of Ukrainian Lviv: A Borderland City between Stalinists, Nazis, and Nationalists” (Cornell University Press, 2015) that was also a part of his research from 2007 to 2010 while he was the Center's academic director. Dr. Sofia Dyak’s PhD thesis compared the post-war experience, spatial perceptions, and visions of the cities of Lviv and Wrocław, both characterized by changed borders and forced population displacements during and after WW2. Institutional cooperation has contributed substantially to the Center’s research profile, in particular associations with the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and Lund University in Sweden. From 2012 to 2015, the Center for Urban History partnered with the University of St. Gallen in the project “Region, Nation and Beyond: An Interdisciplinary and Transcultural Reconceptualization of Ukraine,” which explored transformations through the years of independence in such fields as history and heritage, literature, language, religious identities and economics. The methodology of the project combined quantitative and qualitative sociological studies (polls, in-depth interviews), discourse analysis, cultural history and hermeneutics. The team at the Center, led by Dr. Victoria Sereda, included sociologists Anna Susak-Chebotarova and Natalia Otrishchenko. Together with researchers and inter- viewers in 14 regions of Ukraine, they completed a qualitative sociological survey, which explored local dimensions of regional, national/state, and transnational perspectives, and the ways in which they shape understandings of modern Ukraine. The project reflected and amplified the Center's interest in the relationships between societies and space, and on the processes of transfers and interactions. It also reemphasized the need to permanently reformulate the Center’s research agenda, extending beyond cultural and disciplinary boundaries. An important stage in the Center's development was driven by a project undertaken in 2013-2014 by Dr. Volodymyr Kulikov, "Industrialization and Urban Landscape of the In-

46 dustrial South of the Russian Empire." The study expanded the geography of thematic interests of the Center and fostered networking with new institutions. Moreover, it helped digitize and make accessible original materials, which have become inaccessible due to the ongoing war, including materials in museums and archives of Donetsk, Horlivka, and Yenakiyeve. Dr. Kulikov's research results were published in his article "Industrialization and Transformation of the Landscape in the Donbas Region (late 19th – early 20th century)" as part of a collective publication on “Migration and Landscape Transformation: Changes in Central and Eastern Europe in the 19th and 20th Century” edited by Heidi Hein-Kirchner and Martin Zukert (Gottingen, 2016). The results were also adapted for an exhibition entitled "Labour, Exhaustion and Success: Corporate Towns of Donbas" co-curated by Volodymyr Kulikov and Iryna Sklokina, together with colleagues from the Center's Urban Media Archive and visual curator Andriy Linik. The exhibition was presented in Lviv in 2015 within a cultural educational project “DonKult,” and also at Central European University in Budapest. In 2016, the exhibit traveled to Kramatorsk in the Eastern part of Ukraine.

Developing Research Areas The growing diversity of the Center's research topics and the variety of formats for conducting and sharing research have allowed us to establish broader research themes, shaped by past and present project successes, as well as shared experiences with colleagues from other institutions in methods, findings, questions and challenges. This required balancing individual and group work, the development of internal institutional resources and external cooperation, as well as the skills and resources of different disciplines. The Center employs specialists in history, sociology, and architecture who jointly strive to grasp and sculpt the boundaries and capacities of our interdisciplinary work. In 2014, a larger set of themes for future research work at the Center was defined. Covering the chronology of the 19th and 20th centuries, they included the following topics: urban heritage; planned urbanity; cities, wars and recoveries in the 20th century; cultural productions and audiences in cities; professionalization and urban developments; urban mediascapes; public history and urban spaces. Thus, in 2015-2016, the first four research groups were initiated. They brought together two to three researchers in the fields of history, sociology, and architecture working on individual research projects with broader application. These themes are: urban heritage, planned urbanity, war and post-war experiences in 20th century cities, and public history and the city. The design of each research group includes a set of individual and collaborative projects, academic workshops and conferences, as well as public history and digital history formats.

RESEARCH 47 “Cities, Wars, and Recoveries in 20th Century Eastern Europe” is a long-term research initiative of the Center to explore urban perspectives and experiences defined by wars and regime changes, statehood, and borders in 20th century Eastern and Central Europe. The lens of urban life captures the routine and everyday dimensions of these radical ruptures and recoveries. The projects within this larger research theme are designed to combine micro perspectives and an urban history focus with the approaches of comparative, entangled, transnational, and global history. While direct comparison of the two world wars is not a primary aim, the chronological framework opens up the possibility for methodological conversations between individual studies, as well as rethinking longer trajectories in experiencing, coping with, remembering, and representing violent conflicts and recoveries. By focusing on encounters, networks, transfers, and transformations, research projects explore wartime and postwar changes in urban cultural and social life as well as the built environment. ↓ Two projects under this initiative focus on the First World War and its aftermath: “Stag- A soldier of Ukrainian Riflemen, ing Culture at War: Theatre, Entertainment, and Artists’ Networks in Lemberg/Lwów/Lviv, a unit established in the Aus- 1914-1923” (Dr. Oksana Dudko), and “Kyiv in 1914-1922: City and Culture through War, Revolu- tro-Hungarian Army, in front of City Hall in Lemberg/ tions and Recovery” (Dr. Olena Betliy).

48 CHAPTER 4 ← A model for Sykhiv District in Lviv, mid-1970s.

Another research focus “Planned Urbanity in Socialism and Beyond” explores planned cities, towns, and districts in socialist societies. In particular, this topic investigates the visions of planners, experts, and decision-makers involved in construction, as well as the experience of inhabitants as they accommodated these plans into their everyday urban lives. The histories and imaginations of different actors shaped these urban spaces, and the legacy of planned urbanity has had an impact beyond socialism. This initiative combines three research projects and includes established cooperative exchanges between sociologists, historians of architecture, and urban planners. It links ideas and research on the built environment and architecture with a sociological perspective on urban experiences and imagination. The chronological scope from the late socialist period to the present day creates a more dynamic picture beyond the standard Socialist vs. post-Socialist divide. Two case studies have been selected for the first stage of the initiative, with the possibility of expanding further. The first case study focuses on Sykhiv, the largest planned district in Lviv, and is led by sociologist Natalia Otrishchenko and architect Natalia Mysak, designed as an interdisciplinary sociological, architectural and urban planning project. The second case study, led by architect Evgenia Gubkina, focuses on the town of Slavu- tych, called “the last planned Soviet city.” Slavutych was planned and built under emergency conditions after the Chornobyl disaster in the context of political transformation in the late socialist period. It offers a unique opportunity to reconsider and test the perceptions of architects, city planners, and officials of cities in regard to change and reconstruction. More generally, this case explores how the unprecedented dreadful and often fatal disasters of the past impacted the visions of the future, where cities were seen as new beginnings for crucial change. Together these projects engage with the broader history of ideas and implementa- tions of new cities in the 20th century.

RESEARCH 49 The research focus “Urban Heritages: Concepts, Practices and Legacies” looks at heritage as a set of concepts, discourses and practices, and as an institutional and discursive frame. It intentionally takes a long chronological view, tracing the development and impact of heritage concepts and practices from the Soviet Union and Soviet Ukraine to the present. This allows researchers to trace the ways heritage is conceptualized and managed in order to reconstruct circulations of concepts and approaches, adaptations and impacts on local and transnational scales. Researchers may also investigate how heritage practices are integrated within institutional policies and expertise. This contextualization brings up a more complex and dynamic understanding of heritage discourses and practices in contemporary Ukraine and Eastern Europe. ↓ The topic of heritage has strong academic and practical dimensions, and was identified Remaining synagogue wall painting in Lviv, viewed during as a key focus for the Center from its inception, both as an area of research and as a topic the citywalk “Life, Dreams, for public discourse and community-generated projects.

The theme “Public History and the City: Engaging and Reflecting the Pasts” looks at forms, formats and multiple agendas in engaging with the past from urban perspectives and in urban settings. The aim is to explore and critically assess the implementation of projects in urban settings and in relation to urban history; to ask how complex, interwoven and often contested pasts are incorporated and managed, and how contemporary historical culture in the cities of Ukraine is shaped. Going beyond discussions of narrative, memory culture, and politics of history, this is an attempt to investigate the practices, actors, institutions, and formats of public and popular engagements with the past, in particular at the local level. Our main areas of investigation are public engagements with the past through art and cultural productions, oral history, archiving and digital projects, museum practices and heritage initiatives, and public urban spaces. In 2016, four researchers at the Center (Dr. Natalia Otrishchenko, Dr. Iryna Sklokina, Dr. Sofia Dyak, and most recently Dr. Vasyl Ra- sevych) became part of an interdisciplinary research team working on the two-year project “Historical Cultures in Ukraine and Poland” led by Dr. Tomasz Stryjek (Institute of Political Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences) in cooperation with the Collegium Civitas in Warsaw.

Project findings from the Center’s main research areas were presented at a summer congress organized in June 2016 by the Association of Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) in Lviv. The congress featured approximately 150 panels including about 450 presentations. Five panels and two round tables were organized by the Center’s researchers and reflected the established thematic focuses of the Center’s research: urban perspectives on war; planned urbanity, urban heritage and public history. This was an excellent opportunity to present the Center’s ongoing research projects, communicate with scholars working on similar themes internationally, and advance academic networking. Research on the First World War was at the center of the panel “‘True Citizens’ vs. ‘True Enemies’: Differences of Perception and Self-Representation among City-Dwellers in Eastern European Cities during the First World War” and the round table “The ‘Other’ First World War: the ‘Eastern Turn’ in War Studies.” Three panels explored the 20th century in Eastern Europe through the lenses of urban planning, popular culture and heritage: “Long Live Soviet Urbanism: Imagining and Experiencing Planned Districts,” “Popular and Soviet?: The Ethics of Taste and the Power of Kitsch in Soviet Ukraine, 1930s to 1970s,” and “Lasting and Changing: Heritage Institutions, Actors and Practices in Ukraine after 1991.” Finally, the round table “Recordings and Recyclings? Experience of Academia and NGO in Oral History Projects” discussed differences in practicing oral history in academic and public projects. PUB-

Bridging Public and Academic Spheres

From the very beginning, the Center for Urban History has led and —LI participated in practical discussions on the role of history in society: on the forms, formats and multiple methods of engaging with the past, particularly in urban settings. Public outreach, always a key part of our agenda, was specifically designated as a public history program in 2014. It was particularly important for the Center to explore how formats of public history provide new possibilities to engage with and promote the past, compared to the politics of history and popular history. → C

→ Our projects sought to not only articulate the importance of history and the past in modern societies, but also to provide platforms for public involvement and critical reflection on the usage of the past in the present. While keeping our perspective open to examples from different societies, countries, and periods, activities organized within this program examine the opportunities and challenges for public history in Ukraine specifically, and what it means "to be an historian" in times of radical change and conflict. Some of the opportunities and challenges for public history as a new format in Ukraine were raised and discussed by the Center’s director Sofia Dyak at the 28th Ivan Franko Annual Lecture at Ottawa University in 2014. Through a variety of formats, we ask the broader question of how historical cultures are shaped. We ask how to go beyond discussions of the narratives of history, memory culture and the politics of history, to a more investigative look at practices, institutions, and actors, ↓ especially from local perspectives.

The primary avenue for our public history program is exhibitions, which are implemented in different formats and venues. Lectures are developed for selected exhibitions, as are accompanying programs for children and youth. Some lecture and discussion series are designed to offer possibilities for broader discussions. The Center also engages in projects that aim to develop new urban spaces, which fulfill public, memorial, and educational roles in the life of the contemporary city. Dr. Iryna Matsevko, an historian and the deputy director of the Center, coordinates our public projects in cooperation with a team of researchers, curators, educators, and archivists.

54 Round Tables and Discussions As early as 2008, the Center initiated its first of series of stakeholder debates in a roundtable format under the name “Kolo Lvova” (“Lviv Circle”/“Around Lviv”). Focused mainly on Lviv’s contemporary development, they were moderated by Sofia Dyak and Bohdan Shumylovych, and addressed such topics as the situation of transport in Lviv, technological change in city museums, new approaches to urban heritage, or the prospects of the movie industry in Ukraine and other creative industries in the city. The success of this initial public dialogue led to the Center's primary partnership with the British Council on their project “Future City Game” in the following year. In 2009, Bohdan Shumylovych facilitated city games in several cities of Ukraine including Lviv, Vinnytsia, and Melitopol. A unique podium discussion took place in February 2011 when the Vienna-based international cultural magazine “Eurozine” staged its annual debate series at the Center’s conference hall. Under the theme “Splitting up? The Renationalization of Europe” two distinguished public intellectuals, the Belgian author David van Reybrouck and the Kyiv-based journalist and MP Andriy Shevchenko discussed similarities and dissimilarities regarding the fragile inner cohesion of their respective countries. This conversation back in 2011 addressed some of the questions that have recently become key topics in European and international public and political life: What explains nationalism's renewed importance and what distinguishes the various expressions of nationalism across Europe today? Why is nationalism associated with conflict in some cases and not in others? And does it make any sense to talk in the same terms about contemporary nationalism in Eastern and Western Europe?

Since 2015, the Center has been organizing more elaborate public programs that combine podium conversations with public lectures. These were planned to coincide with two of the Center’s summer schools: one on Jewish history and heritage, and the other on planned urbanity. Run at the same time as the summer schools, this format made international academic discussions accessible for local, public audiences. Held in public venues with distinguished scholars and practitioners, these programs are specially designed to broaden public conversation, exchange ideas, and thus promote more open and critical engagement with the past in contemporary Ukraine. In 2015, the Center invited Lvivians and city visitors to “Jewish Days in the City Hall” in July-August and “Days of Modernism” in August. In 2016, the second “Jewish Days in the City Hall” took place, while the topic of planned urbanity was addressed in Slavutych in conjunction with the Urban Summer School there. The first“Jewish Days in the City Hall” brought together experts on Jewish studies from abroad and local officials, researchers and activists engaged with Jewish heritage and preservation in Lviv and other Eastern European cities. Together with numerous and various audiences, they discussed the historical background and current state of Jewish heritage, and ways to see its preservation as a shared responsibility. A diversity of topics were covered, → such as preservation, photo-documentation, history of writing Jewish history in Lviv, and a A lecture by Professor Natalia comparison between different cities in Eastern and Central Europe.

The themes of a contested past, individual memory and representations were addressed in a special screening of the documentary, "Shimon’s Returns," followed by a meeting with Shimon Redlich, a well-known Israeli historian and Holocaust survivor from Brzeżany/ Berezhany. The talk with Shimon Redlich was moderated by Anna Chebotarova, researcher of the Center for Urban History and introduced by Professor Padraic Kenney, the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES) President. This was probably one of the strongest and most powerful events of the Center’s summer public program in 2016. It assembled a very diverse, both local and international audience and led to an insightful, moving and very pertinent conversation on the past as well as on contemporary challenges. The topics of modernist architecture and visions, as well as the experience of planned urbanity were the focus of two public lecture programs in 2015 and 2016. The first one ran in parallel to the urban summer school “Novyi Lviv,” which focused on an area of Lviv that was developed and built throughout the 20th century. The lecture program “Days of Modernism at the City Hall: Architecture, Urban Visions, Heritage” brought together speakers from Amster- dam, Kyiv, Lviv, Moscow, and New York to present ambitious visions and contested projects in 20th century city planning. They provided a broader context for 20th century architecture and urban planning for the school and highlighted Lviv’s important but often neglected story of the 20th century built environment. The “Days of Modernism at City Hall” presented the best examples of how modernist heritage has been reconsidered. It challenged and inspired visitors to take a fresh look at the so-called ‘depressed districts’ of cities and see a promising space for creativity.

The Public Lectures Program also included talks by Professor Kate Brown (University of Maryland, USA), Professor Anselm Wagner (Graz Technical University, Austria), Dr. Oleksiy Bratochkin (Euro- pean College for Liberal Arts in Belarus), and Dr. Inga Freimane (Northumbrian University, UK).

PUBLIC HISTORY 57 The next program took place in Slavutych as part of "The Idea of the City: Reali- ty Check" in July 2016. Slavutych is a very unusual and exceptional city. It was built after the nuclear disaster at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant in 1986 and became the last planned city in the Soviet Union, as well as the youngest city in present-day Ukraine. The exceptional circumstances surrounding its establishment shaped both its planning and creation. Today, Slavutych is home to employees of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, and a temporary residence for international experts working on the New Shelter Project. Slavutych provides a unique opportunity to explore urbanistic and social concepts such as a planned city, utopian city, post-disaster city, eco-city, and mono-city through the lenses of various disciplines in both a summer school format and public lecture series. The Center’s established success in running all kinds of programs designed to promote dialogue between different sectors of society gained extra importance when war broke out in eastern Ukraine. In June 2015, the Center joined the cultural forum, “DonKult,” organized by the Charity Foundation “The Depths of Arts”. This forum used art, literary, and musical events to raise awareness of cultural diversity in the Donbas and to rethink the region without one-sided “romantic” or “condemning” rhetoric. As a co-organizer, the Center prepared a program of lectures and discussions developed by Dr. Iryna Matsevko. Our experience and partnerships from two successful earlier research projects, “Region, Nation, and Beyond” (2012-2015) and “Industrialization and Urban Landscape of the Industrial South of the Russian Empire” (2013-2014), were particularly helpful. The program included open lectures, discussions, and talks united by → the topic of history and heritage of the A discussion on “History within Donbas, and drew 1500 attendants over the Changing Borders: How to Write History Post-Conflict?” the course of two weeks, a testament within the DonKult Forum. to its success.

58 CHAPTER 5 ← Over the past ten years, the Center has welcomed a number of distinguished speakers from all different areas of expertise. They have shared their professional and personal insights into the ways we experience, remember, approach, and work with the past. In 2013-2014, we were particularly honored to organize public meetings with Mario Botta Philippe Sands Anda Rottenberg Holocaust survivors from Lviv Architect Lawyer, Writer Art Curator and the area historically known as Galicia (today eastern parts of Poland and western parts of Ukraine): Dr. Leszek Allerhand, Dr. Aharon Weiss, and Dr. Janina Hescheles-Altman.

Unanimous concerns about the neglected state of Jewish memorial sites gave birth to an initiative to launch an international architecture competition to appropriately memorialize three sites of Jewish history in Lviv. The Center was not only present at the outset of this important project; it became one of its organizing forces along with the municipality of Lviv and the German Association of International Cooperation (GIZ). Three sites were chosen: the former Jewish cemetery, Besojlem, northwest of the city centre; the site of the Yanivsky concentration camp on the outskirts of the city; and the Space of Synagogues in the former inner city Jewish quarter. A series of public hearings were held with historians, representatives of the Jewish community, and city authorities; and consul- tations with Jewish religious authorities were conducted. Technical experts and architects were also involved to ensure that the completion and its results complied with international standards, local legislation and UNESCO requirements. The competition was announced in August 2010. Competitors could submit ideas for any or all of the three competition sites. The submissions were then assessed by an international jury of architects, historians, representatives of Ukrainian Jewish organizations and the Lviv city administration. The winning entry for the Space of Synagogues came from the Berlin-based landscape architect Franz Reschke. His concept became a topic of extensive public discussion in the coming years. Ukrainian, Israeli and German experts examined the likelihood of its successful implementation. Historians and researchers from and cooper- ating with the Center focused on research, gathering suggestions for the Perpetuation Memorial Installation. It was designed as a set of 39 stone plates of different sizes, the majority of which would be inscribed with quotations and images taken from photographs. The installation was an attempt to give voice to people who used to live in Lviv, who were Jewish, and who put their thoughts down in writing. 21 quotations from more than 80

60 CHAPTER 5 suggestions were selected together with members of Jewish organizations in Lviv. The inscriptions came from memoirs and diaries, and the works of rabbis, thinkers, professional writers and ordinary citizens. Each quotation was presented in its original language, and with translations. Among the authors are famous people and ordinary people, men and women of all ages, and children. The “Sites of Jewish History in Lviv” initiative has become one of the longest running and most complex public projects in the Center’s history. On September 4, 2016, after more than seven years of discussions, research, and planning that brought academics, experts, representatives of the Jewish communities and city authorities together, the first part of the Space of Synagogues was opened and officially became part of contemporary Lviv as a new memorial and public space. The completed part consists of three elements: a marker indicating the foundation of the Beth Hamidrash (House of Learning), the Perpetuation Memorial Installation, and the preserved remains of the Golden Rose synagogue. Inaugurated within the “European Days of Jewish Culture” program, the opening included an official ceremony, an international workshop (“Mapping Presence: Jewish Heritage Sites, Initiatives, and Experiences in Ukraine”) and an art program ↙ (“The Art of Memory: Voices of the City”).

PUBLIC HISTORY 61 Exhibitions Exhibitions are another important dimension of the Center’s public history program, serving as bridges of communication between diverse audiences, especially between professionals and the larger public. They offer different actors the possibility to engage in the production and sharing of knowledge. One key strategy is to address well-known subjects, such as home, sport, or sexuality, by placing them in urban and broader historical contexts. Our main goal is to balance academic and public forums in order both to preserve the complexity of issues and to engage the interested public. The Center’s first large exhibition “Lviv a World a Way” was brought from Berlin. It was then adapted in Lviv to tell the story of a city inhabited by people of different communities whose identities, cultures and religions interacted with and influenced each other. The exhibition invited contemporary Lvivians to explore their home city through the story of diversity, but also through the history of destruction. As one of the visitors put it: “This is a tremendously interesting exhibition that evokes a wish to walk through the old streets of Lviv and have a new look at our home city.” The exhibition opened in October 2008 as a complement to the conference on “Urban Jewish Heritage and History of East Central Europe.” It was also the inaugural exhibit in a new space at the Center, which became a permanent component of our location. The first large exhibition created by the Center's team opened in 2009 as “Eros and Sexu- ality: A Century of Coercion, Control, and Emancipation.” It examined how the emergence of modernity drove the sphere of sexuality into an era of unprecedented change, but without a simple storyline of gradual or inevitable progress. The exhibition was launched in tandem with the Center’s international conference “Sex in the Cities: Prostitution, White Slavery and Sexual Minorities in East Central Europe.” The next exhibition, “Home: A Century of Change,” opened in 2010 as an exploration into the cultural, social, political, and ideological contexts of homemaking in the 20th century. With this exhibition, the Center introduced its first series of accompanying events, including lectures, round tables, film screenings, and its first program for children, created by Khrystyna Boyko, who began working as a freelance educator and later joined the Center’s team full-time. Ma- terials from the exhibition displays along with additional research findings were published in the book “Home: A Century of Change” edited by Sofia Dyak. The aim of the publication was to synthesize the most recent studies of everyday life and material culture in the global context. One of the highlights of 2012 was the UEFA European Championship, jointly hosted by Ukraine and Poland. Lviv was among the cities that hosted football tournaments. For this international sporting event, the Center prepared the exhibition “Sport and the City: People, Society, Ideology,” which placed sport into historical, social, and cultural contexts. The exhibition, accompanied by a series of lectures, discussions, and educational events, traced the history of sport over the last 150 years, starting from the beginning of professional sports in Europe (and particularly in Lviv). The aim was to explore how ideas about sports have changed and how new types of sports have emerged. An important focus of the exhibition was to show the connections between sports and nationalism, government, commerce and globalization. A related international workshop “Mega-Events in Eastern Europe,” organized jointly with the Center for Public Management and Culture in Europe at the University St. Gallen, Switzerland,

Since 2008, the Center has organized and hosted 39 exhibitions. Mostly displayed at the Center’s exhibition hall, they have covered a wide range of topics from very general (such as home, sexuality, sport) to more specific (selected locations, periods, and problems related to urban life and history). Rarely working with artifacts, the exhibition teams at the Center strive to combine various media — texts, images, films and objects to raise new and sometimes controversial issues in order to increase awareness and inspire public discussion.

PUBLIC HISTORY 63 explored fan culture and the potential of mega-events for urban development. In 2014, multiple European and global events were organized to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I. Within that context, the Center launched a new exhibition in December 2014 on “The Great War 1914-...: Individual and Global Experiences”. Curated by one of the Center’s researchers, Dr. Oksana Dudko, and developed by a team of historians, designers, and programmers, the exhibition presented diverse views on the Great War from different but connected perspectives: as a global conflict and as an individual experience. The exhibition filled several rooms of displays in the Center's permanent exhibition space, and included a multi-faceted program with authors and guest researchers leading tours and lec- turing on different aspects of the War. A specially tailored educational program geared towards children, parents, and teachers was designed and run by educator Khrystyna Boyko, and the exhibition space was also used for school lessons in partnership with local teachers. While most exhibitions take place on the Center’s own premises, we also partner with museums and other institutions from time to time. In 2015, the Center partnered with the Lviv National Art Gallery to jointly produce “Ketubot: Jewish Marriage Contracts.” The project included an exhibit at the Lviv National Art Gallery, a catalogue, special lectures for adults, and activities for children. On August 23, 2016, the day before Ukraine’s 25th Independence Day, Tadeusz Rolke’s photo exhibition “Tomorrow Will Be Better” opened, displaying previously unpublished images of Lviv from 1990 taken by a photographer from Warsaw. With a presentation of fifty images together with comments from historians, the exhibition revealed different stories of the city and in the city, in the year before the collapse of the USSR. The images and comments included walkouts and demonstrations, changes in the use of public spaces, and the everyday life of citizens. They captured the economic crisis and the feeling of uncertainty, but also the anticipation of change. The exhibition was an invitation for critical reconsideration of the last 25 years through the lens of social developments, the developing state, and other changes.

Educational Programs The Center’s educational programs developed gradually. The began with the supplement “The Home of My Dreams“ to the 2010 exhibition “Home: A Century of Change.“ It invited children into an artistic and explorative journey to consider topics such as children’s personal space, comfort, family, neighbors, free time, and shared space. Today our educational programs range from teaching enterprises for schools and teachers using the Urban Media Archive materials, to programs similar to “Home of My Dreams,“ which accompany our exhibitions. Since 2012, each of the Center’s exhibitions has been accompanied by special educational programs for different audiences, designed and developed by educator Khrystyna Boyko. Very recently, in 2015, the educational program for “The Great War 1914-...: Individual and Global Experience” invited school teachers to conduct history classes in the exhibition space using interactive teaching methods in order to give their students deeper insight into topics that are part of the school program. A special series of conversations, “How to Talk to Children about War,” prepared for parents, teachers, and museum staff. These meetings were led by Khrystyna

Boyko, and created a common space for discussing and sharing personal experiences. That was especially pertinent in the context of the war in eastern Ukraine. Independent from the exhibition format, educational programs for children have also been incorporated into research projects. For example, in 2014, children in the Pidzamche neighborhood used an educational platform to explore historical and architectural descriptions of places and buildings. They also listened to recorded interviews of residents. This was all provided with transliteration into Braille as well. In 2015, the Center teamed up with the German Association of International Cooperation (GIZ) and the Lviv City Council to create a children’s program called “Your/My Stories.” This program was part of Urban Workshop, a joint format of the Lviv City Council and GIZ project “Mu- nicipal development and rehabilitation of the Old City of Lviv.” It was also part of the DonKult Cultural Forum, and included an animation school “The City in My Hands,” where children from Lviv and internally displaced children drew their dream city. The program also brought school children together to explore the history of industrial cities and towns in the Donetsk region through visual materials, including postcards, photographs, and movies. This educational format was based on research findings from the "Industrialization and Urban Landscape of the Industrial South of the Russian Empire" project, which took place in 2013-2014 at the Center. More recently, in 2016, teenagers in Slavutych were able to take part in a supplemental program offered during our Urban Summer Schools there. One highlight was a city walking game, a virtual journey through the city of Slavutych.

That same year, Pro- fessor Nathaniel Wood (USA) also stayed at the Center on a residency grant while researching “The Urban Civilian Experience of the Great War in Galicia.” For each of the next six years, five to eight researchers received research fellowships at the Center to support their work with archives and other sources in Lviv. In 2014, the Center began granting an annual average of 10 residency fellowships for junior and advanced scholars that include accommodation at the Center’s guest apartment for a period of one month. The Residence Grant program contributes to the Center’s academic life, and more generally enhances cooperation between scholars within and beyond Ukraine.

The Center also acts as the host institution for longer-term research fellowships. These fellowships are usually about a year in length, and are in cooperation with, or with funding from other academic institutions and foundations. In 2011, Dr. Mayhill Fowler spent a se- mester at the Center developing a manuscript based on her PhD thesis “Beau Monde: State and Stage on Empire’s Edge, Russia and Soviet Ukraine, 1916-1941” (defended at Princeton University). Dr. Fowler’s fellowship led to a long-term working relationship, which most recently initiated a new research project on popular and mass culture in postwar Soviet Lviv. In 2013-2014, the Center also hosted Ashley Bigham, a Fulbright Fellow and graduate of Yale University in architecture, working on defense architecture, theory of modern preservation, and sites of memory and commemoration.

Library Steady funding for the development of the library collection has allowed us to build one of the best thematic libraries in Ukraine (and beyond, on some topics). By the end of 2016, the Center's library had already gathered more than 8,000 volumes.

→ Library reading room and open stacks

Overall, the selection of books reflects our core research activities, as well as the range of educational projects developed at the Center. We also gather reference materials on topics studied by our resident grant recipients, especially those coming from other cities in Ukraine. This overlaps well with the Center’s focus on cities. Thematically, the scope of the library's collection includes urban history and urban studies; the history of Lviv, Eastern Europe, Europe, and the world; media and digital history; the history of everyday life; and public history. In 2014, we introduced an online request service. This made our library much more accessible, and also provided us with useful statistics on the most-searched subjects: General Urban History, History of Lviv, Urban Ukraine, Public History, and Jewish Studies.

70 CHAPTER 6 Website The Center’s website was launched in 2006, and has been growing consistently ever since, reflecting the continual change and development of the Center. It is a platform for both informing the public about our events and activities, and for presenting various research findings and updates on our digital and archival projects. The website is available in four languages: Ukrainian, English, Polish, and Russian. It is a resource for people with broad-reaching interests and motivations. Of particular interest to visitors are the Urban Media Archive and Lviv Street Database. Please visit us at www.lvivcenter.org

72 CHAPTER 6 Funding One important aspect of the Center’s development over the past years is the diversification of its funding resources. Originally financed exclusively by the foundation’s capital yield, the Center now builds on two other types of revenues: rental income in Ukraine and external project-related grants, which combined cover more than half of the spending. Significant and growing contribution of third-party funding also reflects the extent of the Center’s international network and its recognition as a reliable and productive institution. In terms of budget spending there was a significant increase on research and academic activities as well as public history projects over the last five years.
